Let it rain

Be warned: if you purchase this striking umbrella from Alperstein Designs – which features an artwork by Ruth Napaljarri

Stewart from Warlukurlangu Artists in remote Central Australia – you may find yourself eagerly watching for grey skies and an opportunity to whip it out. The clever piece folds backwards when it’s not in use so you can admire its loveliness all the time. And, even better, each sale directly benefits the artist and their community. Find it at alpersteindesigns.com.au for $39.95.
